Part of a national programme of Extensive Urban Surveys initiated and supported by English Heritage, DHCMTS aims to increase understanding of 17 medieval towns within the county, prioritised because of their high historical significance and archaeological potential and the immediacy of development pressure. Totnes was chosen due to substantial Local Development Plan proposals for in-filling and edge expansion along with proposed market town enhancements. The town has high archaeological significance, its origins potentially rooted in a Saxon burh established at some time during the 10th century AD. Although Totnes is located on an ancient trackway and river crossing over the River Dart, there is no certain evidence for underlying settlement at Totnes prior to this date. A small amount of Iron Age and Roman material from within the grounds of Totnes Castle and further east along Fore Street may, however, indicate high status late prehistoric and Roman occupation activity in the vicinity.

  • 6. the Tudors and Jacobethan England
    6. The Tudors and Jacobethan England History Literature Click here for a Tudor timeline. The royal website includes a history of the Tudor Monarchs [and those prior and post this period]. Art This site will guide you to short articles on the Kings and Queens of the Tudor Music Dynasty. Another general guide to Tudor times can be found here. Architecture Click here for a fuller account of Elizabeth. One of the principle events of the reign of Elizabeth was the defeat of the Spanish Armada (here's the BBC Armada site). Elizabeth's famous (and short) speech before the battle can be found here. England's power grew mightily in this period, which is reflected in the lives and achievements of contemporary 'heroes' such as Sir Francis Drake, fearless fighter against the Spanish who circumnavigated the globe, and Sir Walter Raleigh (nowadays pronounced Rawley), one of those who established the first British colonies across the Atlantic (and who spelt his name in over 40 different ways...). Raleigh is generally 'credited' with the commercial introduction of tobacco into England .about 1778, and possibly of the potato. On a lighter note, information on Elizabethan costume is available here (including such items as farthingales and bumrolls). Literature Drama and the theatre The Elizabethan age is the golden age of English drama, for which the establishment of permanent theatres is not least responsible. As performances left the inn-yards and noble houses for permanent sites in London, the demand for drama increased enormously. While some of the smaller theatres were indoors, it is the purpose-built round/square/polygonal buildings such as The Theatre (the first, built in 1576), the Curtain (late 1570s?), the Rose (1587), the Swan (1595), the Fortune (1600) and of course the Globe (1599) that are most characteristic of the period.

  • Al160207osa Market Coastal Towns
    EEC/07/63/HQ Environment, Economy and Culture Overview/Scrutiny Committee 5 March 2007 Market and Coastal Towns Report of the Director of Environment, Economy and Culture 1. Summary In January 2006, members received a report on the draft Devon Sites and Premises Strategy and as a result expressed concern about the shortage of premises for smaller businesses. It was resolved that a further report be submitted, which covered economic development issues relating to Market Towns, including the availability of sites for relocation of small businesses and the Market and Coastal Town initiative (MCTi). This report concentrates on work undertaken in association with the MCTi pending further analysis of specific matters relevant to business premises. 2. Background In the South West, the MCTi commenced in 2000 and was led by the Regional Development Agency, Countryside Agency and English Heritage, with support from many other bodies. The scheme received greater emphasis following the incidence of Foot and Mouth Disease and a number of towns adversely affected were included in the programme. Since October 2004, delivery of the initiative has been charged to the Market and Coastal Towns Association (MCTA). This is an independent organisation largely funded by the Regional Development Agency, English Heritage and Big Lottery Fund. The initiative is a community based regeneration programme focusing on the preparation, by local people, of a long term Community Strategic Plan covering the social, economic, environmental and cultural features of their town and its hinterland. The MCTA delivers capacity building support to communities, enabling them to prepare the plans and develop their skills and organisational capacity while sharing good practice with others.

  • Our Plan’, a New Strategic Plan for West Devon
    Shaping our communities to 2031 Regulation 19 Publication Version February 2015 West Devon - A Leading Rural Council Foreword Welcome to ‘Our Plan’, a new strategic plan for West Devon. Whilst the Core Strategy was a plan for future growth and development to take us from 2006 to 2026, since it was written planning policy has undergone some significant changes as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and we need to ensure our plans are fit for purpose and in conformity with this national policy. This new plan also has to cover a wider range of issues that go beyond traditional planning policy and it makes more sense to write a new plan rather than try and amend the existing ones. Therefore, ‘Our Plan’ will be the overarching strategic plan for the Borough of West Devon up to 2031. Developing a new plan is always challenging and it is often controversial with different sectors and individuals in our communities understandably seeing things from their own view point. However, we need to remember that we are planning for the communities of tomorrow not just for ourselves today. What we do now will have a significant impact on how people live their lives in West Devon in the future. Our biggest challenge is enabling growth and providing much needed homes and jobs whilst, at the same time, protecting the beautiful place that is West Devon - no mean feat as I’m sure you can appreciate. To do this we have gathered and considered evidence about local need and the views and comments shared by you and a wide range of partners during the process have helped us to shape a plan that we believe takes account of local needs and aspirations.

  • CITY of SAN BUENAVENTURA HISTORIC LANDMARKS, DISTRICTS, and POINTS of INTEREST
    CITY OF SAN BUENAVENTURA HISTORIC LANDMARKS, DISTRICTS, and POINTS OF INTEREST Landmark Number: 93 Historic Name: Petit Tudor Address: 1725 Miramar Drive Designated: October 2002 Description: The house was built in 1929 by Charles W. Petit, the mayor of Ventura for many years. There have been three other owners of this house since it was built. The house was designed by John C. Austin, F.A.I.A. and Frederic M. Ashley, A.I.A., architects with offices located in the Chamber of Commerce building in Los Angeles, and is a good example of English Tudor architecture in Ventura. The English Tudor style refers to the Tudor period in England in the first half of the 16th Century. This period included the reign of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, and Mary. The Tudor style was used for domestic vs. ecclesiastical architecture. The house is a two story single-family residence. The footprint is mostly rectangular with some irregularities. The roof is very high pitched. The exterior is stucco with many details in brick and wood. Most of the windows on the first floor are casement windows. These windows are equipped with metal roller screens. There are many leaded windows throughout the house. There is a bay window in the library with a copper roof. On the second floor, most windows are casement or double hung, but on an old sleeping porch there are "pocket windows." These windows have a windowsill that opens and the windows drop into a pocket below. The front door has white oak veneer and has a window with a wrought iron grate.

  • A Self-Guided Walking Tour of Montrose Park
    A SELF-GUIDED WALKING TOUR OF MONTROSE PARK Montrose Park Historic District Association Our mission is to promote, preserve, and beautify the Montrose Park Historic District, maintain its integrity, and enhance the quality of life for all residents. Montrose Park Historic District Association is a non-profit, tax exempt organization under the IRS Code 501(c)(3) MONTROSE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT ASSOCIATION This walking tour celebrates the rich architectural heritage concentrated in South Orange and particularly in the Montrose Park neighborhood, which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1997. This tour doesn’t cover every house but highlights some of the more interesting homes in a structured leisurely walk that you can complete in about an hour. MPHDA thanks Janet Foster, a historic preservation consultant, for her assistance in curating the stops on this walk and for the written commentary, both about the houses featured and the development of the area we call Montrose Park. Walking instructions are in RED; Individual house addresses are in bold. BEGIN THE TOUR IN GROVE PARK, NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF GROVE ROAD AND RALSTON AVENUE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE ORIGINS OF MONTROSE PARK In the mid-19th century, the Oranges were both traditional farming communities and emerging “resort” areas. “Mountain Station” was established by the 1840s along the Morris & Essex Railroad to serve the Mountain House, a fashionable hotel and spa located on the hill behind the Mountain Station. It advertised that South Orange and the hill to its west made it the “Switzerland of America”. Clearly, most people visiting had not been to Switzerland, or had even seen the Rockies.

Architecture, like philosophy, dates from the morning of the mind's history. Primitive man found Nature beautiful to look at, wet and uncomfortable to live in; a shelter became the first desideratum; and hence arose " the most useful of the fine arts, and the finest of the useful arts." Its history, however, does not begin until the thought of beauty had insinuated itself into the mind of the builder.

  • The Community Justice Court in Plymouth the Community Justice Court in Plymouth Has Now Been Operation for Over a Year
    Issue 3 – December 2008 Welcome to the third Community Justice Update. Eighteen months since the start of the project there has been a great deal of change and exciting developments. This brief newsletter provides you with an update on the progress made in both elements of the Community Justice Initiative Explaining the Community Justice Initiative in 2008 and onwards We are still running the Community Justice Initiative through a project management structure, with a multi-agency Steering Group providing a decision-making forum. The Senior Responsible Officer for the Initiative has changed from David Gentry to Steve Cross (Head of Operations, Her Majesty’s Courts Service). Changes to the national Community Justice Programme now means work locally is split into two elements: innovation (including problem solving) and community engagement. Innovation The Community Justice Initiative Steering Group has recently agreed to expand the Community Justice Court principles to cases from across the city of Plymouth. This will remove the ‘two tier’ system. Further innovation such as: community impact statements pilot (Devon and Cornwall) and supporting life events problem solving model (Cornwall). Community Engagement Her Majesty’s Courts Service (HMCS) are required to increase community engagement by Magistrates’ across the country. In Devon and Cornwall a new member of staff, Tori Tweedie, is doing this. Tori joined the Local Criminal Justice Board (LCJB) support team in August 2008 and you can read more about her, and the work she is involved in, later in this newsletter. The Community Justice Court in Plymouth The Community Justice Court in Plymouth has now been operation for over a year.
